Property Overview
The Victoria Falls Hotel is a grand Edwardian-era hotel that was built in the early 1900’s ,during the time when Cecil Rhodes famously attempted to link Cape Town to Cairo by rail. A ten-minute stroll, via a private footpath, leads to one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World: the Victoria Falls. The hotel is surrounded by carefully tended tropical gardens, lily ponds and century-old shade trees. The guestrooms, including deluxe sui tes with views of the Zambezi River gorges and spray from the Falls, are traditional in style. The panoramas also figure prominently during afternoon tea, which is served on Stanley Terrace, overlooking the Victoria Falls Bridge that links Zimbabwe to Zambia. For romantics, the hotel offers sunset river cruises and can arrange guided game drives, as well as helicopter and micro light flights over the Falls.

Local Recommendations
Best Activity/Excursion
Choose from such activities as whitewater rafting in the river below the falls, bungee-jumping off the bridge or a helicopter ride over the cataracts.
Best Restaurant for a Celebration
Serving up warthog steaks and dried mopane worms alongside tribal dancers and face-painting, this traditional open-air restaurant makes for an exciting dining experience. www.victoria-falls-safari-lodge.com.
Top Day Trip
Take a guided day trip across the border into Botswana’s famous national park, getting an exotic new stamp in your passport in the process.
Best Shopping Neighborhood
Buy safari clothing, tribal wood carvings, stone sculptures and much more at this lodge-style mall with an open-air garden courtyard in the heart of downtown.
Best City Secret
Take a half-day horseback ride on the game-filled banks of the Zambezi, just above the Falls. www.zambezihorsetrails.com.
Best View
This winding trail through the Victoria Falls National Park rainforest has 16 stunning cliff-edge view points from which to look down on the cataracts below. Wear a rain coat. www.zimparks.org.
Best Cocktail with a View
Sip a gin tonic (or take high tea) on the sweeping veranda of this famous colonial hotel, with a view of the rainforest and spray from the falls right in front of you. www.africansunhotels.com.
What to Skip
Avoid buying crafts and curios from the many unlicensed vendors who pester you on street. Their crafts are often not of the highest quality, anyway.
Reading Suggestion
Roberts’s history of the controversial 1904-1905 construction of the remarkable steel bridge connecting Zimbabwe and Zambia, just below the Falls, provides a great historic context.
Three Top Sights
Victoria Falls is reportedly the largest waterfall in the world, while Cecil Rhode's much-photographed Victoria Falls Bridge runs from Zimbabwe to Zambia; local safaris feature the famous Big Five animals (elephant, lion, rhino, buffalo, leopard).
